Dwellings and Stores Inundated, and
Occupants Driven Out.
LYONS, Mich, February 1.-THE food
here is simply terrible. A panic has seized
some OF the people, and it is impossible to
get an estimate OF losses. Water, in some
places, is four feet deep in many residences,
and the same state of affairs prevails in
store rooms. Everybody is moving, or
preparing to move. Last night was the
most exciting the village has ever expert
enced. Up to last night three buildings
had been washed away and demolished,
and many others were badly damaged. At
Muir the same serious condition prevails,
and merchants have abandoned
their stores. Advices from other
points are to the same effect, but Lyons
seems to bs the worst sufferer. Three
Rivers is surrounded with water and all
shops have been closed at that point.
Immense
LUMBER PILES ARE AFLoAT.
The Lake Shore railroad track is in great
danger OF being washed away. At Owasso
six inches of snow fell last night and the
river is still rising. At Monroe tho river
has been slowly rising for twenty-four
hours, but the ice has broken, giving free
passage to the lake. The banks of the
river is lined with walls immense
of ice and frozen snow, rising eight
or ten feet above the present high
water mark and great fields of ice of the
same thickness fill all the streets adjacent
to the river. At Jackson the pressure of
the water in Grand river and in the mill
pond above the city was too great, and
last night the sluices were opened, with the
result that the water rose several feet, and
the Grand Trunk bridge is now under
water. Cellars in business blocks in the
center of the town are all flooded from
eighteen inches to two and q half feet.
The State fair grounds are completely sub
merged, and on one large tract in the
part Of the city the water is up
to the floors of dwellings,. The prison
walls stand in most OF the lake.
A slight abatement OF the food was no.
ticed last night, but is on in all it's fury this
Rain fell in torrents until about
when it changed to snow and by
daylight fully eight inches of snow and
sleet had fallen. There is a regular north
easter with twenty mile wind. The water
has risen two feet in the last four hours
and is still rising. The people are worn
out working night and day to save their
property. Maple and Grand rivers unite
here and both are raging. 1t is impossible
to give a complete estimate of the damage
done. Should Lansing ice reach here before
the gorge gives way all the business places
on the north side Of Main street will be
washed away. A rough estimate of the
damage makes the aggregate from SIS, 900

cine. Its oil is very soothing to the
stomach and intcstines, and is also.
rich in food for muscle and bone. One
of the best ways to use flaXseed is to
boil it in six times its bulk of water till
it forms Jelly; then mix q little Of
this jelly with wheat bran and you
have an excellent food for growing q
pig. This is also good food for the
brood sow, promoting her yield of
milk. If used in this way, one pound
of flaxseed is mixed with ten pounds
OF bran. Pigs very soon get liking
for the taste of faxseed. d.-BostOu Globe.

GOLD-SAVlNG PROCESS.
lining In a Colorado Mountain Stream
With Discarded Hides

Win Discarded Hides.
For several months Peter Horndyke, a
~ell-known gold-miner of the San Juan
country, has been coming to Durango on
weekly visits, buying each time all the
beef hides he could find. AS he took the
hides mountainward, many wondered to
what purpose they were being put. A
Durango (Col.) Herald reporter met Mr..
Horndyke and bluntly asked him what he
was doing with SO many hides.
swell, now that I have proven my
theory correct. l have no objection to
telling your readers of my doings.
"You see all goldhunters know that
mnch gold known as 'hoat'is washed away
continuously. To catch this by any
means has already proven impossible, al.
though tried by many different methods
from the trial of sluices and running
streams. Last spring | luckily thought OF
method which is rapidly making me
rick man."
''How do you do it:" was impatiently
asked.
''Why, with hides. It's the simpiist
thing you ever saw. The Animas river
tributaries come from the best gold-bear-
ing sections of the country. This being
the case, much fine OF flower gold must
pass down the stream. Up above l ar
ranged my plans by selecting a point
where the river cuts directly to the bank {;
here L placed hide on stakes, allowing
the water to skim over it; the bair being
placed up stream, Of course it caught up
all the 'foat' of all kinds. After leaving
the hide in this position for a week l took
it out and examined it thoroughly, but
could discover no trace of gold. Being de-
termined to give my experiment o
thorough test, l cut up several pieces and
burned them in an old pan; in panning the
ashes l was rewarded with over two dol
lars in gold. Since that time | have de-
voted my time to getting every hide could
buy, and now hav5 fifty in place at vari-
Gus points. On my clean-ups, which I
make on each hide at the end OF two weeks,
| realize from sixty to ninety dollars in
pure gold, which secure by retorting the
ashes of the hides"

Casters continue to be staple arti-

ever, continue to be largely patronized,
notably in the Southern and Western
States, and are out in styles to har-
monize with the decoration OF other
portions of table service.
Where the dinner caster is not used,
there are substituted one or more salad
